ARAP1-AS1: a novel long non-coding RNA with a vital regulatory role in human cancer development.

ABSTRACT: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have garnered significant attention in biomedical research due to their pivotal roles in gene expression regulation and their association with various human diseases. Among these lncRNAs, ArfGAP With RhoGAP Domain, Ankyrin Repeat, And PH Domain 1 - Antisense RNA 1 (ARAP1-AS1) has recently emerged as an novel oncogenic player. ARAP1-AS1 is prominently overexpressed in numerous solid tumors and wields influence by modulating gene expression and signaling pathways. This regulatory impact is realized through dual mechanisms, involving both competitive interactions with microRNAs and direct protein binding. ARAP1-AS1 assumes an important role in driving tumorigenesis and malignant tumor progression, affecting biological characteristics such as tumor expansion and
